CINDERELLA IS
COMING TO SUTTON
COLDFIELD
THE GARRICK
PROMISES PANTO FUN
WITH PETER PAN
WHAT: CINDERELLA
WHERE: SUTTON COLDFIELD TOWN HALL
WHEN: DECEMBER 7 TO 24
Welcome to Russia, the setting of Sutton Coldfield’s
2021 pantomime spectacular: Cinderella!
Imagine a time of ice-cold winters with the snow
laying deep on the frozen hard ground. Imagine a
palace where the fountains spout icicles and Russian
bears hibernate in the forests…
Now imagine a draughty old country house with the
only warmth from a sooty fireplace, and it’s your
job to keep the fire burning! Out in all weathers
collecting wood and sleeping in the cinders of the
fireplace, because your wicked stepmother and your
ugly stepsisters are too mean to let you sleep in a bed.
That’s what happened to poor Cinderella and this
is the story of how she dreamed of escape, of being
warm and of meeting a handsome Prince who could
save her from this miserable life.
After the huge success of Aladdin in 2019, the
Production Exchange comes back to the Town
Hall with a great cast of actor musicians, beautiful
scenery, stunning costumes and a talented young
ensemble to perform the ultimate family classic.
With support from the government’s Cultural
Recovery Fund, Sutton Coldfield Town Hall is
excited to welcome the cast and crew to the Royal
Town for a limited run before Christmas and a
thrilling return to traditional family entertainment.
Tickets can be purchased online or over the
telephone, priced from £17 per person. For more
